FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides novel heterocyclic compounds as anticancer agents, especially as estrogen receptor (ER) antagonists/degraders and process for their preparation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Endogenous estrogen, 17β-estradiol (E2) shows a wide variety of biological activities in the reproductive systems, bone metabolism, and the cardiovascular systems, as well as the central nervous system. The link between estrogen and breast cancer growth and development has been well established.

A number of strategies to inhibit the action of endogenous estrogen in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer are in practice. These include, selective ER modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen, which act as selective tissue-specific antagonist of ER in the breast; selective ER degraders (SERD) such as fulvestrant, which promote ER turnover; and aromatase inhibitors (AI) such as exemestane (steroidal), anastrozole and letrozole (nonsteroidal) which inhibit estrogen biosynthesis and are primarily used for postmenopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, many women with breast cancer initially respond well to tamoxifen or AI therapy but develop resistance over a period of time during treatment. In resistant form of breast cancer there is evidence that pro-growth signaling pathways downstream of estrogen receptor still play a significant role. Recently, there has been increasing clinical evidence that following treatment with AIs, resistance develop due to mutations in the ligand-binding domain of ER-α rendering it constitutively active even in the absence of ligand, leading to resistance.

Currently fulvestrant is considered as a first-in-class SERD. Unfortunately, significant pharmaceutical liabilities of fulvestrant (requiring intramuscular injection of large volume) limit its widespread use. Therefore, development of an orally bio-available ER-antagonist especially with ER degrading properties would be beneficial to patients who have developed resistance to currently available therapies targeting ER activity. Many non-steroidal ER antagonists are reported in prior art. For instance U.S. Pat. No. 5,395,842 discloses anti-estrogenic compounds and compositions. WIPO application WO 2014203132A1, WO2011156518A1, WO2013090829A1, U.S. Pat. No. 5,389,646, U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,947 and European patent EP 470310 discloses benzopyran compounds useful for treatment or prevention of conditions modulated through the estrogen receptor.

It is well under general purview of those skilled in the art that when the substituent groups R₁ and R₂ are selected from one which may interfere with the general course of the reaction scheme, the groups may be protected with a suitable protecting group such as provided in text book Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry by Peter G.

Method-J Preparation of acetic acid 3-(6-acetoxy-2-{4-[(E)-3-(9-fluorononylamino)propenyl]phenyl}-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl)phenyl ester (compound No. 74)

Step I: (9-Fluorononyl)-((E)-3-{4-[6-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-yl]phenyl}allyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (0.19 g, 0.85 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 2-{4-[(E)-3-(9-fluorononylamino)propenyl]phenyl}-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-6-ol (0.41 g, 0.77 mmol) and triethylamine (0.09 g, 0.93 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) at ambient temperature and was allowed to stirred at same temperature for 40 minutes. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure to get crude which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, n-hexane:ethyl acetate, 6:4) to get (9-fluorononyl)-((E)-3-{4-[6-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-yl]phenyl}allyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester.

Step II: Acetic acid 3-[6-acetoxy-2-(4-{(E)-3-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-(9-fluorononyl)amino]propenyl}phenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl]phenyl ester

Acetyl chloride (0.04 g, 0.52 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of (9-fluorononyl)-((E)-3-{4-[6-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-yl]phenyl}allyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.11 g, 0.17 mmol) and triethylamine (0.07 g, 0.70 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) at 0-5° C. and was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture and was extracted with dichloromethane. Combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to get crude which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel n-hexane:ethyl acetate 8:2) to yield acetic acid 3-[6-acetoxy-2-(4-{(E)-3-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-(9-fluorononyl)amino]propenyl}phenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl]phenyl ester.

Step III: Acetic acid 3-(6-acetoxy-2-{4-[(E)-3-(9-fluorononylamino)propenyl]phenyl}-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl)phenyl ester

Zinc bromide (0.15 g, 0.67 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of acetic acid 3-[6-acetoxy-2-(4-{(E)-3-[tert-butoxycarbonyl-(9-fluorononyl)amino]propenyl}phenyl)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl]phenyl ester (0.12 g, 0.17 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) at ambient temperature and was allowed to stirred at same temperature for 4 hours. Water was added to reaction mixture and extracted with dichloromethane. Combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to get crude which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane:methanol, 8:2) to yield acetic acid 3-(6-acetoxy-2-{4-[(E)-3-(9-fluorononylamino)propenyl]phenyl}-4-methyl-2H-chromen-3-yl)phenyl ester.

In-Vitro Cell Line Assay MCF-7 Cell Growth Inhibition Assay

MCF-7 cells were plated in 96 well plate in the presence of estradiol (1 nM) and incubated overnight. After 24 hours test compound was added at various concentrations and incubated for five days. On the fifth day, cell viability was evaluated using Presto Blue Cell Viability Reagent. Percentage growth inhibition was calculated as follows: 100−[(O.D. of sample)*100/O.D. of vehicle control] wherein O.D. is optical density.

Compounds of Formula I mostly showed growth inhibition more than 50% at 3 micromolar concentrations.
